What were the supposedly prehistoric fish in a box you could buy at walmart called?

Question

i had these a while back and was wondering what they were called because i was wanting some more but i cant find them at wal mart anymore. so could anyone help me??

Answer 1

there triops, and unlike the person above me said the package says they grow up to 2 inches, wich a few of mine did before they died, but they only live about 2 months

if you want more all you have to do is let the triops tank dry out and then refill it with distilled water and if your triops were over a month then they probably laid eggs that would hatch

Answer 2

triops also try seamonkeys

Answer 3

probably triops. you have to hatch the eggs though, it's not living yet. I didn't think you could get those at walmart-then again my walmart doesn't have a great selection in the first place.

Answer 4

maby triops

Answer 6

They are called triops, except they are not fish. You put their eggs in water, and they hatch. They are kind of like miniature horseshoe crabs. Here is some pics:

Keep in mind that they say that they can grow to be like 4 inches or something but usually they only end up being an inch before dying.

Trust me, they're not worth your money. Mine died within a week after hatching.
